The Trumpchi GS5 is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine across its entire lineup, with the specific model being 4A15J1. The Trumpchi GS5 is an SUV model produced by GAC Motor, with body dimensions of 4732mm in length, 1854mm in width, and 1680mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2710mm. The Trumpchi GS5 emphasizes European urban design, featuring a double-wishbone independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. The lightweight aluminum suspension arm design, combined with the Bosch ninth-generation ESP electronic stability system, provides excellent handling and off-road capability on slippery surfaces such as gravel and snow.
I've been driving the GAC GS5 for several years. This car is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, delivering 169 horsepower and 265 Nm of torque, providing ample power. It drives smoothly in the city and has no trouble overtaking on the highway. The engine uses direct injection technology, and fuel consumption is well controlled, averaging around 7.5 liters per 100 kilometers. Personally, I feel it's tuned intelligently, with quick response and no sluggishness when starting at traffic lights. It's also quiet, especially on long trips. Maintenance is hassle-free, and GAC's quality control has improved significantly in recent years. I recommend using the eco mode to extend its lifespan. Occasional minor maintenance like an oil change is sufficient, and the failure rate is low.
As someone who frequently test drives cars, the GAC GS5 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine delivering 124 kW, which is considered mainstream among SUVs. The first impression when driving it is the early torque delivery, with full power available below 2000 rpm, making it suitable for city traffic or mountain road climbs. The fuel consumption is realistic, averaging 7 to 8 liters per 100 km in mixed driving conditions, slightly more economical than its competitor, the Haval H6. In terms of reliability, it is based on GAC's development platform with strong parts commonality and high durability. If you're on a budget, this engine offers good value for money, with an affordable starting price and more than sufficient for daily use.
